[[Bowser|King Koopa]] and his [[Koopalings]] are all onboard the [[Airship|Doom Ship]], and are flying over a town somewhere in the [[Earth|real world]].

Down below, in the prison courtyard, a large, muscular prisoner is playing a game of basketball with some of the other prisoners. When one of the other prisoners laughs at him for failing to make a shot, the larger prisoner rolls him up into a ball, and shoots him through the net. When the large prisoner challenges the other prisoners into beating him, they run away. | Down below, in the prison courtyard, a large, muscular prisoner is playing a game of basketball with some of the other prisoners.

Surrounded by the Koopas, Clyde wants to know who the Koopas are, and what they want with him. When they arrive at [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]], Koopa explains his background to Clyde, who can barely believe what he is hearing. He further tells Clyde that he busted him out of jail so that he could teach the Koopalings all the tactics he used to commit crimes. When Clyde wants to know what he will get out of this whole ordeal, Koopa tells him that he can keep half of whatever was stolen. Unaware that Koopa had crossed his fingers behind his back, Clyde agrees. | Surrounded by the Koopas, Clyde wants to know who the Koopas are, and what they want with him.

Later on, the Doom Ship pulls up above the [[First Mushroom Bank]], and Clyde prepares to teach the Koopalings their first lesson in crime: bank robbery.

Realizing that the Koopas are pulling a bank heist, Mario and Luigi scramble to find power-ups. Mario finds a [[Super Leaf]] to become [[Raccoon Mario]], while Luigi uses a [[Fire Flower]] to become [[Fire Mario|Fire Luigi]]. Inside the bank, the Koopalings seize the [[Toad (species)|Mushroom | Realizing that the Koopas are pulling a bank heist, Mario and Luigi scramble to find power-ups. Mario finds a [[Super Leaf]] to become [[Raccoon Mario]], while Luigi uses a [[Fire Flower]] to become [[Fire Mario|Fire Luigi]]. Inside the bank, the Koopalings seize the [[Toad (species)|Mushroom people]] there and steal the valuables they have on them. Just as Bully forces the banker to toss all of his [[Coin|Gold Coins]] into a sack, Mario knocks the sack away from Bully with his tail, and it hits [[Lemmy Koopa|Hip]] and [[Iggy Koopa|Hop]]. Luigi shoots a [[fireball]] at [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Big Mouth]], [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky]] and [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy]]. However, [[Wendy O. Koopa|Kootie Pie]] uses a fur scarf she stole to wrap up Mario with, while Bully sprays Luigi with a fire extinguisher. With the heroes down, the Koopalings retreat to the Doom Ship. | ||
Back at Kastle Koopa, the Koopalings are beating each other up, while Clyde tells them that they failed lesson one in crime. He then proceeds to lesson two; getting rid of the good guys. | Back at Kastle Koopa, the Koopalings are beating each other up, while Clyde tells them that they failed lesson one in crime.

At some later point, Mario and Luigi come out of a [[Warp Pipe]] in [[Desert Land]], where they hear a voice crying for help. The voice leads them to a Mushroom boy, who explains that some ugly monsters stole his lunch money, and directs Mario and Luigi to the pipe they escaped through. Once Mario and Luigi travel down the pipe, Cheatsy comes out of hiding, thanks the kid for leading Mario and Luigi down the pipe, and actually returns the stolen lunch money. | At some later point, Mario and Luigi come out of a [[Warp Pipe]] in [[Desert Land]], where they hear a voice crying for help.

Mario and Luigi come out of a pipe in a maze underneath Desert Land, which closes behind them. They then hear Clyde laugh, and turn to see him with Big Mouth, who tells them that they are trapped. Just after Big Mouth and Clyde lock them in, Big Mouth briefly opens the door to let in a [[Boom Boom]] that will "keep them company". The Boom Boom chases Mario and Luigi into some quicksand, with no visible ways of escape. | Mario and Luigi come out of a pipe in a maze underneath Desert Land, which closes behind them.

Big Mouth uses a [[Ptooie]] to hold up a Mushroom lady, while Kooky steals the coins in her purse.

When Big Mouth uses his Ptooie to demand a stolen yo-yo from Bully, Clyde gets mad, exclaiming that the Koopalings should not steal from each other. Hip and Hop take to Clyde's advice by stealing wallets from his pockets. Although Clyde is frustrated, Koopa is proud of his children, and announces that they need to pull the "crime of the Mushroom Century". | ||
Bully wonders if they will rob the ruins of the Mushroom pharaohs, while Cheatsy thinks that they will pilfer the pyramids of the Koopahari Desert. Kootie Pie thinks it is getting rid of Princess Toadstool, but Koopa shakes his head at all their ideas before unveiling his plan: stealing one billion gold coins from the [[Mushroom Kingdom Treasury]]. | Bully wonders if they will rob the ruins of the Mushroom pharaohs, while Cheatsy thinks that they will pilfer the pyramids of the Koopahari Desert.

Down in the maze, Mario and Luigi are finding themselves chased by [[Ptooie]]s and [[Sledge Bro]]thers, and find themselves locked in a room with two [[Thwomp]]s. Luigi is fairly worried, because he is certain that there is no possible way out of the maze. | Down in the maze, Mario and Luigi are finding themselves chased by [[Ptooie]]s and [[Sledge Bro]]thers, and find themselves locked in a room with two [[Thwomp]]s.
